Peeling Paint

I am always amazed at how different the colors of buildings are throughout the United States. Depending on where you are the colors, as well as the materials used, can vary greatly. In both Miami and Key West I was entranced by the bright blues, yellows, pinks and greens of their architecture on everything from mega hotels to individual homes. Those colors on buildings probably would not fly here in the Midwest.

In the more expensive parts of Key West the homes were just stunning and in pristine condition while on and around Duval Street they were – as you can see – less so. But even though in need of some scraping and repainting, the colors still stood out. By the way…can you find the discarded bandage in one of these images?
